GaGa Responds To Telephone Controversy

84090_snapshot2010031210534.jpg

Lady GaGa is NOT pleased about the backlash she's receiving about her music video for Telephone from BIGOTS who claim the lesbian relationships are sadomasochistic and 'poison.'

However, GaGaloo has integrity and responds to the hate-mongers with a lot of class.

She says:

"There are transsexual women and transgender women and suddenly it becomes poisonous and something else because there are some people in this world that believe being gay is a choice. It's not a choice, we're born this way. That's why for me this video is groundbreaking because it has one foot in the art community and one foot in the commercial world.

I told Beyoncé this after it aired, you'll see this video is not just great now but six months from now what this video will mean. Hearing people say the video is sadomasochistic or that the video promotes murder for young people, it's my personal belief that the video is getting so much attention, not because of those themes because I've done those themes before, haven't I?

There are no rules or limits when it comes to love. But I see love as separate from sex."

Well said, GaGaloo!

What do U think?? Is it unfair that people are calling her work poison?

    3. 203

      who cares about this irrelevante woman. she sucks. u should retire



    4. 204

      ~~~~WOW. THIS VIDEO WAS BASED LOSELY ON MOVIES, AND MOVIES HAVE MURDER…DO YOU HEAR PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT MOVIES PROMOTE KILLINGS AND VIOLENCE? NOT VERY OFTEN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LESBIAN THEME, DON'T WATCH IT. THIS IS AMERICA, FOLKS. SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO CREATE WHAT SHE WANTS, AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT WATCH IT!!!~~~~



    5. 205

      ~~~~P.S. I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MOVIES THAT PEOPLE SAY POMOTE VIOLENCE…, BUT REALLY, WHEN YOU THINK OF HOW MANY MOVIES HAVE MURDERS IN THEM, AND HOW OFTEN YOU HEAR AN "OUTRAGE"… WHAT I MEANT WAS, IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, IT IS NOT THAT OFTEN. ~~~~



    6. 206

      NO GAGA…THE VIDEO IS STUPID AND YOU ARE ILLUMINATI PUPPET BITCH.THATS WHY PPL DIDNT LIKE IT.



    7. 207

      I'm sure Madonna is yawning at this, afterall, SHE was the one who broke the ground for this type of performance and GARNERED real attention, not GooGooLoo!



    8. 208

      Re: MadonnaLive – Madonna should retire. It's long overdo. The reason her Sticky & Sweet tour did so well is because everyone wanted to make sure they saw her before her OLD ass dies..



    9. 209

      Re: MadonnaLive – IF Gaga copies Madonna, then she learned from the best. That's what Madonna's entire career is based on, she has never had an original idea. She steals them and says they're hers, as if she had no "inspiration" at all. She is a dancer and that's it, not a singer/songwriter. She can't even choreograph her own dance moves, she pays someone to do that for her too.



    10. 210

      THERE! SHE JUST ADMITTED 'SHE' WAS 'BORN A TRANSGENDER'. Anyone who listens to or let's their CHILDREN listen to this utter DEVIANTCY is no better than this FILTY WHORE!



    11. 211

      her little lashback did not even make sense. she contradicts herself and she proves no point. her music is poisonous bc its material given to her to brainwash people. people love her and dont even know why. people listen to her music without knowing the meaning or symbol. wake up people! OPEN your eyes reanalyze what is put infront of yur face now a days.



    12. 212

      I admit i was taken back by the video at first, once i took it all in i thought… been there, seen that..can anyone say "Madonna sex book"????…move on Gaga, its been done.



    13. 213

      Re: Ooh la la – what makes people gay then? It must be a pre-meditated choice right, because people want to be judged. Just saying.



    14. 214

      I am so over gaga. I loved her in the beginning, but as time goes on, everything about her seems fake. Her clothing has become more outrageous, she says and does more, more, more and never really explains why she does anything. She talks in circles and sounds like she's been drugged. I don't like her. BTW: I thought that the video sucked. It made no sense. As far as the themes of dancing around naked, making out with someone, and then killing somebody? I think it's time she find some other way to "express" it cause the storyline is as stale as six week old bread.

    15. Freek says – reply to this

      ZHUT UP HATERZ! LADY GAGA ROCKZ! ZEE Y'ALL AT THE MONZTER BALL!



    16. 216

      Re: inlovewithjuicy – Really? You're still repeating that old diatribe?
      Here's a newsflash, sweetie: Adam and Eve are mythical characters.
      Use some fucking originality when you feel like spewing homophobic bullshit over the internet.



    17. 217

      Here here, Gaga. Who the fuck cares about homophobic douchebags? People need to relax and see this for what it really is- solid entertainment.



    18. 218

      Re: Ooh la la – You and I were born straight, weren't we?
      Why would you assume that homosexuality is any different.



    19. 219

      I just got done watching that Fox News video and although I hate conservatives I would never let my kids watch that video in a million years. Hell, I wouldn't want my daughter, if I had one, to watch Miley Cyrus for God's sake. Perez, you're a douche if you think this video is OK for kids.



    20. 220

      Gaga is such a fame loving idiot. She actualy thinks her lyrics MEAN something. Or at least tries to tie a meaning to them afterwards. She sputs utter crap at every opportunity, and it looks like she has totaly lost whatever person used to live in that body of hers. The only way nudity has ever had meaning in a video is Alanis Morissette 'Thank you' video.



    21. 221

      The video is only memorable because it's "shocking", which is the cheapest way of achieving fame. That is Gaga's entire platform. When you have nothing but shock value trying to promote an agenda, it just ends up looking unserious and laughable.



    22. 222

      Love is Love, gaga is so true on this! i wish people would just get that into their ignorant minds, rather than bashing on others and focusing on their own problems!



    23. 223

      Re: Ooh la la – Uhm, yes they are. Go buy some books on neurology.



    24. 224

      Jesus.. don't like the song? Don't listen to it. Don't like the video? Don't watch it, change the channel. People are acting like this is the worst, most depraved video ever made and it's not, by a longshot. And saying she'll do anything for attention? She's allowed to make videos and stir tings up with that and of COURSE you want to get attention when you're an artist, it's how you sell records!



    25. 225

      Re: Moogle80 – and the truth will set you free :D yea that's exactly how it should be, people who don't want to hear it should not be looking it up and then commenting. that's just wasting everyone's time, even you who don't like it. I think you'd want to spend it on someone you do like and then give tons of praise. Celebrate the love, not the hate :D Love Gaga!! :D



    26. 226

      I found nothing "shocking" about the video. I thought it was funny, colorful, and entertaining. That is all.



    27. 227

      To the person below me, you are scum and the use of retard as an insult just proves that!

      Gaga handled the comments very well! She is making a statement and people are just too narrow-minded to look at the underlying message. The thing with Gaga is, is that she is so definable and distinct, that people are going to form extreme opinions about her, they're either going to love her or hate her, there's not much of an in between. I personally, love her more than a pair of Louboutins..which is a lot!
      But I thought that the Telephone video was fabulous, the visuals, the message, the cameos, all flawless! It was missing you though Perez!



    28. 228

      Oh stop trying to drum up fake controversy. She's not Madonna. No one finds her controversial. She's a desperate attention whore. BTW, I'm a lesbian, she's not. I don't need this tard speaking for my community. It's 2010, the kind of progress we've made in 10 years is amazing. And we did it without some attention whore looking to make some unnecessary, pretentious, "artistic" statements with only the intention of furthering her career.



    29. 229

      It's not GROUNDBREAKING to portray transsexual or transgender women as sexual.. that's the impression the general population of them is. If she really wanted to empower transgendered and transexual women she should show them in a more intellectual or just common light, like they are no different than anyone else. What shes actually doing is using these people to get herself ahead… she isn't helping anyone but Gaga



    30. 230

      Re: Gary78 – Gary78, how many times do I have to tell you? Madonna has written her songs since the beginning. Her first albums Madonna and Like A Virgin were the only albums that she wrote the least but she wrote Burning Up, Lucky Star, Physical Attraction, Crazy For You…After Like a Virgin Madonna has written every song she has ever recorded, just check the credits on her albums. She also knows how to play the drums, keyboards, guitar and bass. She has NEVER claimed to be a musician because she feels that she just can't do that as it takes away from the real trained musicians. Call Madonna what you want, but you can't say she isn't original. Many of her ideas came from generations way before but what Madonna has always been know for is updating it and making it all her own in a way only Madonna could. It's called reinvention and know one does it better than Madonna.



    31. 231

      quit bein on lady g's dick she's awsome from her music down her personality so fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    32. 232

      nevermind that more information on this rip off lady haha getting sued millions!!
      PMSL

      i knew she was as original as elton john is straight.
      haha hope she gets sued to pieces.

      what do you think of your 'wifey' being sued perez?
      ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL



    33. 233

      I think anyone who dislikes gaga's video is owned by a dick. She is sticking up for women. She is sticking up for "straight" women and "lesbian" women.. and of course I have to classify it like that because thats the only way your brain works. If you think two women kissing is vulgar then you need a wake up call. I bet you there wouldn't be so much bitching if gaga was kissing some hot chick- but the fact that the woman she is kissing most likely identifies as a man and looks like a man, its a huge issue. She made her video like that because this is what she wanted from you all. She wants you to wake the fuck up and face this issue. You all need to see two women kissing eachother, whether you like it or not.



    34. 234

      "Nothing to do with Lesbianism; I loathe the mainstreaming of violence, especially sexualized violence. SO ugly." Hmmm… I don't know about that. It has a lot to do with lesbianism. She's showing you the "ugly" side of it. The "beautiful" side isn't so bad, right? Because, once again, men don't mind pretty girls making out or fucking, right? Remember that we all have to bow down to the mighty dick- don't forget that. Sex is violence. Sex is not love. That's what she is trying to show. Sex is just as sickening as murder. Sex is just as tempting as murder. Sex is just as human as murder. If women are subject to the violence of sex- if we are victims just because we are alive, as women, maybe murder is just as close as it gets to being dominant.



    35. 235

      Notice how every way she has killed someone (usually men) in her videos it has been through food or drink- and where does every woman belong again? "In the kitchen." Exactly. There’s another statement she is making right there. The relationship between her and Beyonce in the video is one where gaga is showing Beyonce the way to being a free woman. Gaga obviously has “killed before.” It was Beyonce’s turn to take her freedom back. Throughout the video gaga is emotionless. And its because of the sexuality and violence. She wants to show that her emotions exist in love.. sex and violence for her do not affect her emotionally. There is no love in that video besides the somewhat bond she created with Beyonce, especially after the “killing spree-” which is another thing gaga is trying to show. I think you all need to look at this video differently. This is what art is. Maybe you should take the time to understand it.



    36. 236

      the video was really strong though



    37. 237

      I love love love gaga. Shes an artistic genious and i love that she stands behind what she believes in and really, what is right. love is love and i find it so sad that there are still people in this society that cant love and accept someone simply because of who they love. not only with gay or lesbian couples, but inter-racial couples etc. It makes me so mad when the reasoning for being against gay marriage is because they want to protect the sanctity of marriage….so few people see marriage as something sacred and special. its become such a gimmick. if anything i think gay/lesbian couples would honor their marriage more because they had to fight for it, they cant go to the "holy" drive thru chapel in vegas like straight couples. its ridiculous. whats shown in gagas video isnt even close to the vulgarity shown in most videos where the sexual scenes involve a man and a woman. people that dont accept gay/lesbian couples are clearly uncomfortable with their own sexuality and lives and cant face the demons in their lives so they put their focus on the lives of others which is none of their business anyway. love is love!



    38. 238

      The video is garbage and doesn't even match the content of the song. It's just a thrown together mash of trash trying to gain attention…nothing more.

      Does Gaga, just like Ke$ha, realize that thinking Americans are laughing at how pathetic they are. They are mockeries of themselves and the music "business" they work under.



    39. 239

      I'M SUPRISE THAT BEYONCE IS IN THAT SICK VIDEO



    40. 240

      thats bullshit dude,. thats just like calling any other pop stars work poison,. they're all sending basically the same sort of messages repetitively over the years,. people should stop complaining about certain ways that certain people like to live, because it's never going to change,. complaining about it is going to do nothing,. people that have they're own beliefs and ways of living are obviously going to fight back, because they are obviously set in their ways of how they do things,. especially if they portray it the way lady gaga is in this vid,. shes showing that the feels passionate about her ways of living,. ANYONE in this world has the right to do that! to show passion for what they love or who they love in whatever good natured way they wish to do it in,. and if you object towards it, your just killing their spirit,.



    41. 241

      yayaya, we got it you are edgy and clever. i still think gaga was a mute transexual in her past life. anyways,…



    42. 242

      Lol, she coulda said " i dont give a fck".



    43. 243

      Great singer, great entertainer. Keep it up Gaga.



    44. 244

      don't you worry girl they're just jealous cuz your successful and your fans love you



    45. 245

      "The artist is the creator of beautiful things." - Oscar Wilde



    46. 246

      GAGAAA is an amazing artist, shes very talented in terms of her song writing and her voice and her vision and shes a great pianist. I love that she stands for LGBT rights it makes me love her even more.



    47. 247

      Well said Miss Gaga. You said it with class,dignity and grace. I myself couldn't have done a better job.



    48. 248

      I don't see the lesbian relationship in the video. I think is more about true friendship and loyalty. And girl power…



    49. 249

      She is so full of herself!
      "That's why for me this video is groundbreaking because it has one foot in the art community and one foot in the commercial world."
      -
      -
      And she is delusional - this type of thing has been done so many times before.
      Being a derivative imitator is not ground-breaking, honey.



    50. 250

      gaga keeps talking about david bowie while i also think bowies great i ve seen him twice live and other mega bands and artists but gagas monster ball show is the best by miles she leaves them all standing i cant wait for the garden show it ll be worth the trip from england to see the best artist on the planet play at the best venue and city in the world…..



    51. 251

      "it's not a choice. We're born this way." So is Gaga gay, or she is saying it in general?



    52. 252

      not poison, just junk. she's a subcultural rapist.



    53. 253

      gaga is amazing get used to it. there is so much shit in this world and we should be thanking gaga for cleaning it up and brightening our world. also, the telephone video is absolutely unreal



    54. 254

      Lady gaga is only doing what nobody else has the courage to do. Lady gaga is the best ! i love her



    55. 255

      omg. she makes no sense. stop thinking you're some supreme being on music caca! the vid is beyond average. dont see why anyone would be TALKING about it in anyway.



    56. 256

      I honestly didn't see anything wrong with it when I watched it and when I heard about all this backlash I honestly thought i had seen a different video. I just made sure I saw the regular version of it and that is what i saw the first time. So….I don't know what the fuck these people are watching but I think people need to get over themselves and stop preaching hate lesbianism is not sadomasochistic. How about these dumb bigots try opening up their fucking eyes and their minds to what the real world has in it. People do not choose to be gay if anything they just choose whether or not they want to show their true feelings. People choose to be whether or not they truly want to be themselves or whether they want to go with what other people say.
      **oh and secondly how does Gaga committing murders IN THE VIDEO promote it to young ppl or whoever is watching it ?!?!?!? do ppl really think their children are so stupid to copy that? It's not like she committed a murder in real life and went to jail or got off. Unlike some rap artists i won't name Gaga doesn't bring sensationalism to crime.
      ***You can go to w.e church you go to and believe what you want to believe, I pretty much respect that however, someone saying that that promotes murder isn't thinking logically and is just pulling stuff out of their ASS. That makes no sense WHATSOEVER !! I stand by Gaga and totally agree with her
      TEAMMM GAGAAAAAAAA !!!!!



    57. 257

      Re: Daizx3 – THANK YOUUUUUUU I TOTALLLLYYYYY
      felt the exact same way. I really didn't get what people were making a big deal about when I saw the corrupting youth vid on this site.. I was like wtf are these dumb bigots talking about. I knew what I was watching but wtf were they watching? They make an extremely big deal over nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      How about all the conservative ppl go live on an island somewhere and just all be conservative together. Don't let anyone else live on your island and it'll be find yous all be overly conservative of yourselves and LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE THE FUCK ALONE!! lmao



    58. 258

      Re: Joyful_Sounds3 – shes bi you dumbfuck .. she's said that a long time ago im pretty sure !



    59. 259

      Re: redhead27 – you are exactly right! im glad someone knows whats really behind this. Gaga is a programmedpuppet (so is Beyonce) they are just trying to mess with the minds of those who listen to her songs and watch her videos.



    60. 260

      Re: electronicMITH – i was always on gagas side just to point out. However, i still never thought of the video that way. I definitely have trouble catching such abstract ideas.



    61. 261

      I like her music, but don't agree with some of her comments, especially seeing love as separate from sex.



    62. 262

      I love Lady GaGa and her musc videos!!! SHe does things that nobody thinks of doing!! Her music Video are not telling young people to its okay to kill only a psycho or idiot would think that!!! All her haters maker her who she is and apparently they like her becasue they always comment things that got to do with her!!



    63. 263

      Re: CandyBeast
      No it doesn't you dumb fck. Transgender is different in technicality than Transexual. Do the research before you talk out of your ass you idiot.



    64. 264

      Re: Scahootowl
      LMAO at gaga being "dumb" . hhaha you retards certainly provide the amusement in these ridiculous posts.



    65. 265

      Re: Icecoldmug
      "This is coming from a gaga fan…I wasn't feeling the song or video at all, unsure of the message. Pulp fiction story was random and uninspired and Beyonce's acting and dance performance was shit."

      CLEARLY you didn't bother to, AS A "FAN", read up on what the point/meaning of the video was. Doesn't sound to me like you're a fan when you don't bother to listen to her interviews to hear what she meant to portray with her new video.
      And in case you didn't notice, it WAS meant to induce vomit feelings and confusion (with the double meaning of over-consumtion and over-sensasionalism and over-feeding in American), it WAS meant to be campy, cheesy, and ludicrous at times. If you'd listen to gaga, you wouldn't be so deluded in what the video was actually about.
      Yep, sounds like a fan..LOL



    66. 266

      i for one, loved the video, people who dont like it, oh well, people who are being complete dumbfucks, youre wasting your time, think what you want, and go ahead and bash but get a fucking life, youre sitting here complaining when there are plenty of people who loved this video, gay is not a choice, i love my girl with all my heart, i never chose that, it just happened.



    67. 267

      Another thing I would like to say is she has basically jacked gay peoples style. Logo, the gay television station, was airing videos like she brought out 2 years before she decided to feed off of gays to make money. I also do not think gay people were "born that way." I think there may be a predisposition for certain families to perhaps have gay people there, whether that is biologically or socially, but its not like someone comes out of the womb gay. Stupid theory,



    68. 268

      Re: Ooh la laRe: Ooh la la – I would disagree with you it's the same as being straight and feeling werid with bing with ppl o the same sex that's how gay ppl feeling with the oppostie sex u may not be born gay but other ppl are an feel different



    69. 269

      I think Gaga is excatly right and she has done these themes before like in every flim clip I mean come on and it's Like a mini movie so awseome the ppl sayin all of this are just friget and prudes haha also what about eminens flim clip he goes around killing ppl and sits In a bath tube of blood Hello I never herd anything about that or being ban serious ppl talk about something that is actually an issue you rock Gaga and good on u for saying your piece I hope ppl will listen!!!!!



    70. 270

      Re: cocteauboy – I totally agree with you there Gaga is for this Generation and this Generation and the world better hurry and catch up!!!!!



    71. 271

      Re: ~JOSIE~ – agree with you there !!!!



    72. 272

      Ppl are saying it's showing sexuall volience maybe it's exposing it ever think of that??
      Also it's a clip how many others are like it or movies you never hear stuff on those media platforms
      you can interepte the clip in whatever way and also the song when I thought of the song I thought about bein in a club with ppl calling but as I said it's Gagas interpretation and glad she d made it it's awesome !!!! And keep em coming she'll be making lots more and more song to come so get use to it or don't watch u don't like it so don't watch it !!! Get real!!!



    73. 273

      i cant STAND her
      shes horrendous and a disgrace to the music industry
      all thanks to the illuminati we all have to listen to her bullshit



    74. 274

      I'm not a great GaGa fan, but I think this video is good and original.



    75. 275

      It's only a music video. I like it. Maybe you don't. Let's all get over it. People that go nutzoid over this stuff should totally get another life. Media doesn't "make" anyone do anything. Personal responsibility is where it's at. Some lez relationships are S&M and poisonous…but so are some hetero. Love is complicated. We're all looking for it and do the best we can.



    76. 276

      GGa is an artist whose work is open to opinion, she doesnt do anything wrong so if ur a hater it shows ur own weakness as a person, a closed mind with bias views and no concept of individualism, personal truths and beliefs to be respected so fuck you haters



    77. 277

      Re: pgal

      That could be because the music video was scarce at that time. But artists did make up for it in their stage shows and persona's. Kiss, Alice Cooper, Ziggy Stardust, Elton John's insane costumes? How we forget.



    78. 278

      totally unfair!!! male artists have been coming out with songs that are way worse for kids to be watching example: I Wanna Fuck You, I'm in Love with Stripper. ARE YOU KIDDING?

      "yah i agree, when she talks it doesn't even explain anything or make sense. her act is really fact. she is trying her hardest to be an artist and what she thinks an artist should sound like but she just ends up sounding like an idiot."

      LOL Im sorry, but are you that miserably STUPID to not understand what this woman says?
      I would venture to say that ALL of her haters are pathetic, ignorant, close-minded egomaniacs that have nothing better to do than look up the artist they depise and talk sh^t out of their ass about them.
      LMAO you fools are more obssesed with this b^tch than her stans are. Who the hell, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, wastes so much time on something they LOATHE?



    81. 281

      well, her 'work' does make me want to die…
